Where is this ghost pattern coming from?! Its damn funky...but its not he one I recorded! :P @John Citizen, Oh, and when I stop the midi clip playing – the audio continues playing, and the channel strip in channel ’1 – Maschine’ is receiving a signal – even though there is no audio (or midi) in that channel, and no pattern seems to be playing in the Maschine plug-in interface itself.

It worked for a while, and I can see my pattern in the midi clip, but I have since quite Ableton, and reopened the file. My 'Midi from' settings and others on the Midi track have reverted back to the default. I press play in Ableton, and the playhead moves across my midi clip, and a signal is showing in the midi track channel strip - BUT - a different pattern is playing than the one I recorded into the midi clip!!! I'm just using one of the preset 'Abbey Road' kits - and it seems to maybe be playing one of the demo patterns from Maschine (I think ?????). Except when I look at my Maschine plug-in - there is no pattern playing!!! Where is this extra pattern coming from? How can I preserve my initial pattern. I'm really confused now. Thanks for your help - it was rad to get it kinda working Joe! Ok, I got the sounds to trigger and record – so i recorded a basic funk break, with a kick, snare, ride, shaker and a hat.

Since I had to switch from AU plug-in to VST, I forgot to re-adjust the Midi batch setup in Maschine. Thanks! Don’t worry – I sorted it out.

I've now got the correct VST et-up, and my Midi track is set-up as per your example...but when i hit my pads on Maschine I can see the signal on track '1 Maschine' - but there is no Midi data coming thru to my Midi track. I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious. Yes, I have armed the track, too. Any ideas? @saintjoe,

I only have the option of selecting the 'Maschine Controller Input' - which is exactly the one you say NOT to select. Is there something that I am missing here?
